To connect your Mechatar to the Mechaverse, you will need to use the USB cable that came with your Mechatar robot. Plug in the smaller end of the USB cable into the receptor on the back of the Mechatar, and plug in the opposite end of the cable into an available USB port on your computer. It is critical that the USB cable is properly inserted into the Mechatar for proper connection. Please review the illustrations in the following article:

Now, turn your Mechatar on. You’ll also want to make sure that your computer is connected to the internet.

If this is your first time connecting to the Mechaverse, you will be prompted to install the Mechatars Client Software. 

Your computer will detect your Mechatar when it is plugged in and switched on, and should connect to Windows Update to download the necessary drivers and software.

 As soon as the software is found and installed, you will see a prompt to download and install the Mechatar Desktop Application. Click "Yes".

You should now see the Mechatar Software Installation screen.

Click on Next, then check the "I Accept the License Agreement" check-box. Keep clicking Next until the application is installed. Click "Finish".

As soon as the Desktop Application installation is complete, it should automatically launch the Registration page on your web browser. Go ahead and fill out the registration form then click Submit. 

If your computer does not have Unity Web Player already installed, you will be prompted to install this client. You will see the Unity Web Player installation icon in the middle of the screen. 

Click on this icon to download and install Unity. As soon as installation is complete, you will be able to access the Mechaverse!

Congratulations, and welcome to the Initiative!
